Subject: C & D Cryptiquiz (killed)

Written By: Windbreaker05 on 03/21/06 at 2:58 am

Well, I've attempted to produce one of these things. Apologies if it isn't a great one, but I've tried anyway. This is like the other In Other Words type quizzes - decode the cryptic song title and give the artist. All of these song titles start with "C" or "D." No cheating. Good luck and enjoy! Also, be thankful that Doc Brown should take over again after this.  :D

You're incorrect about being incorrect. ;) That's the one!
